July 4th Eye Safety
Warning Issued
In a pre-Fourth of July eye safety warning, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc., reminds parents of their joint responsibility with law enforcementagencies for preventing firework accidents among children. "Unless home vigilance is increased, fireworks will conjtinue
to be a menace to sight ■and safety in our community," [says the National Sight-Saving Organization, offering the following suggestions to parents: 1. Do not permit your child to [purchase fireworks through [the mail or from illicit dealers. Fireworks from these sources are often inferiorand even more dangerous than regular types. 2. If your child has obtained fireworks, gunpowder or sparklers confiscate these immediately and help him to understand they are dangerous and probably illegal. 3. Assist authorities in locating dealers in illegal fireworks.
4. Check closely on the activities of your children during the holiday period, especially if they have shown an interest in matches, ammunition, powder or rockets.
